Hi there,
back to the smaller of problems for a while...
I'm still trying to connect a Palm to my linuxbox as below, frantically patching back
and forth...
At least I get new things happening. Such as, when I do 'pppd ircomm0 115200 silent
noauth local nodetach ip1:ip2'
syslog tells me:

California

What on earth is char-major-108????
